I realize that people besides Rush say stupid, race-baiting things too.

>>You missed the news that the players union was against this, the commissioner was against it, a team owner or two were against it, and some players were against it. Sharpton was late to the story. He's convenient for your argument which allows you to pivot to the anti-Bush "far left" as the culprit here. But that strikes me as an odd argument to make.

>>I find the reception Rush received to be very much about his statements.

>>>You missed the point. The point is not that anyone can offer to buy and anyone can refuse to sell. That is capitalism and it works. The point is that the religious extremists have so much power over capitalism.

>>>>I don't see the problem here. Anyone is free to choose with whom they want to deal with. Limbaugh is free say what he want publicly, but he have to assume the consequences of his speech. Seem fair with me.

"It is a moral victory for all Americans -- especially the players that have been unfairly castigated by Rush Limbaugh," Sharpton said in a statement. "This decision will also uphold the unifying standards of major sports.">>>>>

>>>>>Get real. It is not about his statements from 2003, but from his political views. Be careful of your political views or you might just find yourself restricted in business, the media, or even worse one day. Amazing that the religious extremists can control so much these days. I find it amazing that it is not only concerning, but frightening to all Americans. Everyone was so afraid of Bush and the far right and yet the far left seems to be doing more damage. It's dangerous no matter right or left.
